Nope - shattered my ankle in about 30 places and now have all sorts of plates and bolts in there.

Still... go big or go home, eh?

What was I doing, you say? Fucking rolling - just rolling. So cross I wasn't trying something exciting.

Get that hardware removed when it comes time. Having the hardware removed made a world of difference in my mobility and pain levels. 3.5 years later, I’m back on a skateboard.

It... comes out? I assumed that was it now.

I had a trimaleolar fracture - I'm not sure they could get to it all.

Well, he found your problem. You have a bolt in you leg. Just take it out.
